Bright Sun Bird

As for reptiles it is also important for birds that they have lighting that also provides UVAand UVB radiation. UVB is important for the calcium metabolism. Birds do also have aspecial eyesight which allows them to see in the UVA part of the spectrum. This enablesbird e.g. to judge the ripeness of fruits or find tracks of their prey. It does also play animportant role for mating as special parts of the plumage reflect the UVA radiation.When developing the Bright Sun Bird great attention has been paid to a matching spectrumfor birds and that the lamp is also safe for use at short distances. Since birds canfly close to the lamp, it is important that it does not emit too much heat and UV. A normalreptile lamp would be too powerful at short distances. With the Bright Sun Bird the animalsbenefit from its brightness and can enjoy safe heat and UV radiation.It is important to note that birds react sensitive to flickering light as they have a muchmore advanced visual resolving power as e.g. mammals. A movie will be like a dia showto a bird consisting of single pictures. We therefore recommend the use of the BrightSun Bird with Lucky Reptile Bright Control electronic ballasts which guarantee a flickerfreeand healthy light.
